Tried to hunt the beach today( west coast of FL) wind was so bad I got sand blasted. The good thing is the beach was starting to get some good cuts but you could not work them because the surf was to rough. Even at low tide . Walking with the wind was o.k. but going back was a b---- good thing I had a scoop and md tto steady my selfand could not hearwith the wind blowing in my ear phones.

Wasnt given you much of a break out there. I walked along the shore a bit and stepped into a couple of big holes. Waves were crashing at the wave line... not much storm surge thou... that could be good. But the wind with the sand was brutal out there. No brave soles willing to get on that boat with you yesterday huh? The waves were perfect for the wind surfers.... but even they gave it up with the strong winds.

The only time I get to hunt is when the weather is so bad I can't go fishing. there were a lot of crusted pennies showing up so who ever gets out there first after the waves let up should do real good.
